CMU does justice to 'Spring Awakening'; Point Park works to clean up the messy Cold War-set 'Chess'

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Your weekend is saved: This is a happy chance to see contrasting musicals by Pittsburgh's two big musical theater training programs, both of which regularly send graduates into the national professional pool. Carnegie Mellon University's drama school is the more selective, with the bigger national reputation, and "Spring Awakening" is a fitting showcase for a relatively small cast of 13, all senior music theater majors. It also showcases the work of its student designers, whose national reputation is equally high.
